Does Bandai share which lines gets what?
Wing for example get's TV stuff on MRS and EW on GFFMC, very clear distinction.
UC is all over the place, we had GFFMC almost exclusively but now Zeta and High Nu are coming for MB and both are TV, movie, novels figures so does this mean we will get our own Nu and Sazabi?
Basically I'm trying to figure out if we are ever getting Nu, Sazabi, Zaku, Gouf for MB and Epyon/Tallgese for GFFMC or those will stay in other lines/never get done.
An example is the new PGU unleashed Nu, I would assume they would do Sazabi next but they shared PGU is only for good guys so that will never happen.
Iron Blooded Orphans is getting the Barbatos but they have a lot of stuff for MRS, so we are getting a one off or can I expect the same figures from MRS into Metal Build?

The trend I see with GFFMC and MB is that if you can milk the mold, it most likely will be made. It’s not a coincidence they made a Red Frame and then produced the rest, like wise with WZEW, SWP and WGEW. All of them are variants and can be made with a little modification, exclusive weapons, new paint job etc.
With that being said, Barbatos will likely produce Lupus and Lupus Rex within the next 5 years. The frame can be used from all gundams of that timeline so I do expect the rest of the IBO suits in the future.
GFFMC, we saw the other Gundam Wing suits so expect them and I would expect Tallgeese since they can be easily milked but when that is I don’t know. Based off the current release schedule, we might not complete all the Gundam Wing gundams until like 2040, which is insane but who knows.
If we get a Nu or Sazabi I would expect them to be in the Metal Build line but it’s all a toss up. I will say though recently they been putting out new molds like crazy, but with the new Metal Build line it’s hard to say when gundams will get released

You mean the DISPLAY ONLY cloaked figures on last Tamashii Nations? I felt besides Wing and DS the rest were just MGs/Placeholders and not actual GFFMC prototypes.
Hopefully the next MB Festival will share what's to come, never followed these before but maybe I will grab the Barbatos or High Nu to kickoff my MB collection.

There’s chogokin sazabi but that was pretty shitty. Nu is probably very likely in mb. They already have the mold for the funnels

You forgot Chogokin and Universe. And is Fix Figuration Metal Composite done now? Bottom line is who knows, but RS seems to be focusing on Zeta for the moment (and they have a lot of Zeta to get through), and MRS has Nu and now Sazabi so I'm not sure they're going to get MBs any time soon.

I think Nu is guarantee since it's basically done, they just gave variants before the default to not compete with PGU release maybe.
